After his idea was confirmed, Yu Wenlong was immediately determined and asked: "How is the battle going?"
The scout said: "The Youtun Guards dispatched more than a thousand armored cavalry and thousands of light cavalry, led by Anxi Military Academy Lieutenant Wang Fangyi. They defeated Wenshui's 8,000-strong Wu clan's position with a single charge, and then pursued them all the way to the vicinity of Kunming Pool.
The Shui Wu family's private army killed them all, and the number of those who escaped were not white, but the general Wu Yuanzhong, and the direct grandson of the family head Wu Xixuan also died in the battle."
"hiss……"
The generals and commanders on the left and right took a deep breath.
Everyone knows that the Wenshui Wu family is Fang Jun’s in-law, and everyone knows how Fang Jun dotes on the naturally charming and beautiful Wu Meiniang. Even though the two armies are facing each other, he still treats Wenshui and Wu family so harshly.
Hands, but it is really unexpected.
Yu Wenlong was also worried: "That fellow from Fang Er is really angry..."
Thinking about it, although the battle situation between the two sides has become a tug-of-war, and there have even been occasional victories since Fang Junchi came to Chang'an, the huge gap between the two sides cannot be smoothed out with a few small victories. To this day, the East Palace often has troubles
The disaster of overturning cannot be made without making the slightest mistake. One can imagine the pressure on Fang Jun.
Under such circumstances, as an in-law, the Wenshui and Wu family were not only willing to join Guan Long and become Fang Jun's enemy, but also went as a vanguard to penetrate strategically important areas, trying to give Fang Jun a fatal blow. How could Fang Jun endure this?
Some people couldn't help but say: "But this is too cruel! The Wenshui and Wu clan are not a big family in the first place, and their background is limited. Eight thousand soldiers and horses have already wiped out the family's wealth. Now they have been annihilated in one battle. They were all slaughtered. This battle
I’m afraid he won’t even be considered a powerful person in the future.”
After all, he was his relative, but Fang Jun caught his relative and beat him to death. This cruel and ruthless style made everyone afraid of him.
Seeing that the situation is unfavorable and that there is danger of overturning at every turn, this Bangchui has become red-eyed and will kill anyone who dares to stand in his way!
The faces of the generals and commanders around them were all pale, and they were worried. They prayed to gods and Buddhas to protect them from facing each other head-on with the Youtun Guards. Otherwise, I’m afraid everyone’s fate would be no better than that of the Wenshui and Wu clans...
Yu Wenlong thought so too.
The Yuwen family is now considered to be the second most powerful family in Guanlong, second only to the eldest grandson family who has been running rampant in the court and grabbing countless profits over the years. This completely relies on the family background accumulated when the ancestors were in charge of the military lord of Woye Town, and to this day
, Woye Town is still the back garden of the Yuwen family, and the young people in the town are competing to join the Yuwen family's private army and fully support the Yuwen family.
The Youtun Guards are famous for their toughness and bravery. In the head-to-head battle between Dadou Bugu and Tuyuhun Cavalry, the soldiers came out of the white road and overthrew Xue Yantuo in the ice and snow of Mobei. Each tough battle demonstrated the character of the Youtun Guards.
Even if such an army can defeat it, it will definitely have to pay a huge price.
The Yuwen family is unwilling to bear such a price.
If the progress on our side is slower and the Changsun family arrives at Longshouyuan first, and the whole body is affected by the influence, the attacking energy of Youtunwei will be completely poured into the Changsun family. No matter what the outcome of the battle, Youtunwei and Changsun will
Everyone will suffer serious losses.
Under this situation, the Yuwen family will not be able to wait for an opportunity to break into the Xuanwu Gate, and will even surpass the Changsun family in the future and become the veritable number one clan in Guanlong...
Yu Wenlong thought in his heart, weighed the pros and cons, and ordered: "The Youtun Guards are rampant and violent, cruel and bloody, like a beast in a cage. They can only be defeated wisely, but cannot be defeated. Send my military order, and the entire army marches outside Guanghua Gate.
Form a formation on the spot and wait for the scouts to send back the detailed defense strategy of the Youtun Guards before you can continue to advance. If you disobey the order, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Here!"
The generals and commanders on the left and right breathed a sigh of relief.
This army brought together many private armies, and was reorganized into one unit under the command of Yu Wenlong. The reasons why everyone entered Guanzhong to participate in the war had similar ideas. One was afraid of Changsun Wuji's coercion and inducement, and the other was optimistic that Guan Long would win in the end.
, want to enter the customs and grab benefits.
But it definitely does not include fighting Dong Gong desperately.
The Tang Dynasty has been a country for a long time, and the previous structure in which a clan was an army has long since ceased to exist. However, everyone relied on the foundation accumulated before the founding of the country to maintain more or less private armies. Li Tang seized power with the help of clan clans.
In the world, Emperor Gaozu was quite tolerant of various clans and clans. As long as he did not harm one party or resist the imperial decree, he acquiesced to the existence of such private armies.
However, as His Majesty Li Er worked hard to govern, the country's strength was increasing day by day, especially the Tang army that swept across Liuhe and was invincible, which made the existence of private armies extremely annoying.
As the country becomes stronger and stronger, the clans will naturally weaken. It is no longer possible to recruit young people into the private army as in the past. What's more, as the country becomes stronger and stronger, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one is willing to work for the clans.
Since you are a soldier with a sword, why not just join the imperial army and fight for the country? The Tang Dynasty was almost invincible in its external wars. Every time an enemy country was overthrown, countless meritorious deeds were assigned to the generals and soldiers. Why bother to work for the nobles just for a mouthful of food...
Therefore, these troops currently entering the Pass are almost the last wealth of every clan. If they are exhausted in this battle, it will be impossible to replenish them.
How can the world's elites, who have already deeply ingrained the concept of "having soldiers as a grass-headed king" in their bones, endure the days when there is no private army to suppress one party and seize the wealth and benefits of a place?
Therefore, everyone was overjoyed when they saw Yu Wenlong giving orders in a serious manner, looking cautious and cautious, but actually he was full of fear of the Youtun guards.
They were just here to mix things up and make up the numbers. No one wanted to rush forward and have a sword-to-gun-to-gun battle with Youtun Guards...
…
Youtunwei camp.
Inside the Chinese army's large tent, Fang Jun sat in the middle, and news from all sources flew in and were summarized. At the end of the Chou period, nearly two hours had passed since the rebels suddenly sent out troops, and Fang Jun suddenly realized that something was wrong...
He carefully read through the reports piled on the desk from beginning to end, and then before coming to the map, he started from Tonghua Gate and followed the narrow area between Longshou Canal and Chang'an City Wall bit by bit with his fingers.
Going north, each reporting time will mark a corresponding location where the rebels arrived. Then starting from Kaiyuanmen in the west of the city, we also go all the way north, checking every location.
The final position of the rebels until now is that Changsun Jiaqing's tribe is still five miles away from Longshouyuan and is close to the Forbidden Garden outside the Daming Palace, while Yuwenlong's tribe has arrived ten miles west of Guanghua Gate and is with Chen Bing's Zan on the bank of Yong'an Canal.
Damn, Gao Kan's troops are still nearly twenty miles away.
In other words, the rebels came in force, but after walking for two hours, they only traveled less than thirty miles.
You know, the vanguards of these two armies are all cavalry...
The momentum is so huge, the march is so "slow", and the east and west rebels are almost in step, what kind of medicine can be sold in Huludao?
It stands to reason that the rebels dispatched so many troops, and the left and right forces advanced in parallel, their purpose was obviously to attack the Right Guards with a two-pronged attack, causing the Right Guards to focus on one thing and lose the other. Even if they could not defeat the Right Guards in one fell swoop, they could still inflict heavy losses.
If you come down and continue to gather troops to raid Xuanwu Gate, or return to the negotiation table, you can gain a lot of initiative.
However, now the two armies are advancing slowly in unison, giving up the opportunity to directly attack the right guard, which is really puzzling...
Is there some strategic conspiracy that I can't see in this?
Fang Jun couldn't help but feel a little anxious, thinking that it would be great if Li Jing was here. When it comes to marching formations and strategic decisions, no one in the world can be better than Li Jing, and he is just a person who relies on the far-sighted vision of a time traveler to build a super army.
It's just "waste material". I'm really not good at this aspect.
Perhaps the Changsun family and the Yuwen family are not on good terms with each other, and they both hope that the other side can take the first step to attract the main firepower of the Youtun Guards, while the other side can take advantage of the situation, reduce casualties and achieve greater results at the same time?
The matter is of great importance, and how to deal with it will not only determine the life and death of Youtun Wei, but also the life and death of the Prince of the East Palace. A slight negligence will lead to a big mistake.
Fang Jun weighed it again and again and did not dare to make a decision without authorization. He called Wei Ying, the leader of the personal soldiers, and avoided the generals in the tent to join the army. He then ordered: "Take my commander's order and go to Xuanwu Gate immediately to see Li Jing. Tell him about the situation here."
Tell me in detail and ask him to analyze the pros and cons and make a decision for you."
Professional matters must be handled by professional people. Li Jing must be able to see the rebels' strategy at a glance...
"Here!"
Wei Ying took the order and left.
Fang Jun was sitting in the Chinese army's tent, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles as news of the approaching enemy troops from two groups kept coming.
We can't just sit around like this. We must first choose a plan to deal with the rebel offensive. Otherwise, if Li Jing is not sure, wouldn't he miss a good opportunity?
Fang Jun weighed the situation and felt that he could not sit still and wait for death, but should take the initiative to attack. If Li Jing's judgment was different from his own, the worst he could do was withdraw the military order and make arrangements again.
